    What about the claims that he only used Autopilot, and not Tesla’s Full Self Driving?

    (Context: I hate Tesla, just curious for the sake of an honest argument)

      He was helping out Tesla by doing that. He was helping them get the wins they got instead of just Tesla massacring the kid every time. Note to self: As a pedestrian and you see a tesla, don’t cross the street.

      All the other cars he tested stopped just fine. Who cares about fiddling with modes and shit.

      “Full shelf driving” still needs to be in quotes. It’s a feature’s brand name for a product that doesn’t actually have full self driving capabilities.

      Try not to carry water for their attempted, repeated lie.

      Not any tangible difference in this scenario. Both use vision only. And both use the same computers.

        But do they use a different software? Maybe FSD is more advanced than autopilot and could have reacted better?

        Just playing devil’s advocate here.

          The software may change but these tests show it’s the hardware that’s limiting them. If the Tesla can’t see a kid through fog, it doesn’t matter what software you pick, that kid gunna die.

          Fortunately humans have much better hardware and software to accompany that vision.

            FSD hard and software has just to be good enough for the job.

            And still we cause so many deaths because we are tired, distracted or emotional when driving.
